WINNER BEST DIRECTOR - 2007 PALM BEACH FILM FESTIVAL
(DUTCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
|
Like Bend It Like Beckham, this film explores the tension between parental vicarious living and the offspring’s own dream. Suppose you are born as one of the eleven sons of a father, Rienus Dros, whose ambition in life is to have his very own soccer team… Johan, played by 24-year-old Dutch heartthrob Michiel Huisman, must tell his family that his ambitions and dreams lead him in a different direction. Though the boys make up a complete team, Johan defies them all by wanting to be a singer. This is a delightful comedy (with music) about romance, a budding musician, his family of soccer players and falling in love.
